You're right, and I'm sorry. You specifically instructed me to split the logs in the side yard, and I split the cat. I recognize now that this was a strategic error, and cutting th…

In contrast, I always advocated for my teams to stand up in the morning as a way to set the agenda for the day and make sure everyone was clear about what they were going to work o…

Imagine if there were some kind of way to compress the interrogation down to known-valid aspects, avoiding the parts that are unnecessary for machines. You could have some kind of …
